advertising management program to link with Indesign?

Does anyone know an adobe program (or other program) that will help me manage advertising in an Indesign document?

I produce a newspaper using Indesign and want a program that will help with tracking and billing for advertsing. Possibly something that will produce a report before each edition, or place the ads directly onto pages for each edition.

Any ideas?

    You might want to try Managing Editor Inc. They have a software suite to automate placement, production and tracking/billing.

    It's not cheap, but it seems to fit the bill you've outlined in your question.

    Hi,

    Dont really understand what your use-case is.

    But you can try automating newspaper design/layout using XML.

    Remember, never say you can't do something in InDesign, it's always just a question of finding the right workaround to get the job done. © David Blatner
